“…Some studies have suggested that healthcare textiles can act as reservoirs and vehicles for the spread of microorganisms in hospitals [ 3 ]. With the development of nanotechnology, some inorganic nanoparticles (NPs), such as silver, copper, and zinc, have been identified as promising candidates in combating pathogenic microorganisms [ 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 ]. Nanotechnology-driven therapies with metal and metal oxide nanoparticles (NPs) are emerging as a promising alternative to antibiotics.…”

In this study, we developed a new approach for depositing selenium nanoparticles (SeNPs) into polypropylene (PP) fabrics via a one-step process under hydrothermal conditions by using an IR-dyeing machine to incorporate several functionalities, mainly coloration, antibacterial activity and ultraviolet (UV) protection. The formation, size distribution, and dispersion of the SeNPs were determined using X-ray diffraction (XRD), ultraviolet-visible (UV/Vis), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and the color strength, fastness, antibacterial properties, and UV protection of the treated fabrics were also explored. The UV-Vis spectra and TEM analysis confirmed the synthesis of spherical well-dispersed SeNPs and the XRD analysis showed the successful deposition of SeNPs into PP fabrics. The obtained results demonstrate that the SeNPs-PP fabrics is accompanied by a noticeable enhancement in measurements of color strength, fastness, and UV-protection factor (UPF), as well as excellent antibacterial activity. Viability studies showed that SeNPs-PP fabrics are non-toxic against wi-38cell line. In addition, the treated SeNPs-PP fabrics showed an increase in conductivity. The obtained multifunctional fabrics are promising for many industrial applications such as the new generation of curtains, medical fabrics, and even automotive interior parts.

“…As for the wash and rubbing fastness, it gave excellent to very good results, respectively, even after five washing cycles. Light fastness provided moderate values, which may be attributed to the crystal violet lactone analogues (diarylphthalide compounds) and fluoran dyes that are the typical compounds used as color formers in the leuco dye–type TC pigments (Elmaaty et al, 2018)…”

“…In the worlds of innovative textile products, hygiene, and active lifestyle, selenium has received great attention recently; this has created a rapidly increasing market for a wide range of uses, including antibacterial, UV protection, flame retardancy, softness, easy care, water and oil repellency, and enhancing the antimicrobial activity of pigment printing (Abou Elmaaty, Abdelaziz, et al, 2018; Abou Elmaaty, Elnagar, et al, 2018; Hebeish et al, 2015; Ibrahim et al, 2015; Ibrahim, Abou Elmaaty, et al, 2013; Ibrahim, Eid, et al, 2013; Ibrahim, Eid, & Abdel-Aziz, 2017; Ibrahim, Eid, El-Aziz, et al, 2017; Ibrahim, Eid, Elmaaty, et al, 2013). In addition, researchers (Elmaaty et al, 2018) have presented papers on how to strengthen and functionalize TC pigments printed with antibacterial materials. In this work, we aim to apply recent advancements in the field of antibacterial, UV-blocking, TC-colored textiles to textiles that are functionalized with Se-NPs’ surface-coating printing technology.…”

Thermochromic (TC) pigments offer significant potential for functional and aesthetic design of smart textile materials. In this study, TC (blue and red) pigments were applied to cotton fabrics and printed on especially designed childrenswear by flat screen printing technique. The antibacterial and ultraviolet protection functionalities have been implemented into the fabrics under study by using selenium nanoparticles. The factors affecting the printing process were studied and the optimum formula was screen printed to produce the pattern’s designs of childrenswear. After conducting several tests, the results showed a significant color-changing effect depending on temperature, the color fastness properties to light, wash, and rubbing were excellent. Antibacterial activity of printed fabrics was very good against Bacillus cereus and Escherichia coli bacteria and the anti-ultraviolet protection was found to be very good. The printed fabrics can be as protective childrenswear as shown in this work.

“…In addition to being simple and cheap, it is also easy to characterize. A major advantage of green synthesis is that it produces nanoparticles with lower toxicity, making them less harmful to the environment [35,36]. Nanoparticles are synthesized using a variety of physical, chemical, and biological methods [33,34].…”

Nowadays, consumers understand that upgrading their traditional clothing can improve their lives. In a garment fabric, comfort and functional properties are the most important features that a wearer looks for. A variety of textile technologies are being developed to meet the needs of customers. In recent years, nanotechnology has become one of the most important areas of research. Nanotechnology’s unique and useful characteristics have led to its rapid expansion in the textile industry. In the production of high-performance textiles, various finishing, coating, and manufacturing techniques are used to produce fibers or fabrics with small nano sizes. Humans have been utilizing cotton for thousands of years, and it accounts for around 34% of all fiber production worldwide. The clothing industry, home textile industry, and healthcare industry all use it extensively. Nanotechnology can enhance cotton fabrics’ properties, including antibacterial activity, self-cleaning, UV protection, etc. Research in the field of functional cotton fabrics with nanotechnology is presented in the present study.
